According to a new CareerBuilder survey, 40 percent of 18-34-year-olds are living paycheck to paycheckand it's even higher for women. Uggghhh. Since hoarding cash is about as fun as getting a root canal, we got experts to spill on ways you can save cash...without screwing with your life.

Swap With Your Friends

Swap With Your Friends

Know that top that you bought months ago that you've worn once and just aren't into for some random reason? Yeah, your friends have those, too. So organize a clothing swap. Here's how it works: Everyone brings a bunch of clothes that they want to get rid of and you all trade. Have your buddies BYOB as well to give it a fun party atmosphere. You can also do it online at sites like SwapStyle.com, DignSwap.com, and RehashClothes.com.

Group Shop

Group Shop
